I know most of these threads are about the latest in digital tech, but wanted to include a few pics showing the amazing dynamic range of the 2014 Nikon D810. These were taken with a newly acquired $250 Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 ED, hence, the reason for the experiment. I wanted to make sure the elements were good. I know this the epitome of a non scientific experiment, but here it is nonetheless...These were taken hand held @ ISO 64, 1/60th @f/4.5. The exposure slider was at (0) when imported to LR 6.14 and shows the crushed and washed blacks, but when pushed to +5.00 the image shows the impressive dynamic range with more than enough to spare. Many cameras have capable sensors, but I've noticed that the Nikon files can really be pushed! So, if shooting with a Nikon FF and you want to preserve highlights, I don't suggest you shoot 5 stops of underexposure, but it's nice to know at base ISO you could.
